Career Earnings

  I just started playing WGT a few days ago. This morning I logged on to find that my career earnings had gone from 0 to $0.50.

  I have been clicking each score in my score history to try and find where I earned this prize money, but have had no luck doing so.

  What I am missing here? Am I looking in the wrong place?

  It would be nice if you could just click career earnings and get a pop-up showing you the payouts for each event you have won.

  Thanks for the help.

  These events are shown in the "Account" tab.

  WGT might want to tell you how 50 crs are converted into 0.50 $.

  One credit is equivelent to $0.01.

  Thus - 50 credits = $0.50.

  Real dollars can be used to buy WGT credits. Credits cannot be converted into real dollars.

  Sure you can!  For 165,000cr you can get a $250 Amazon Gift Card that you can spend as real dollars.  As long as your state/country allows it and you've gone thru the verification process. See the Elite collection in the Pro shop.

  No. While $0.01 is nominally 1 credit, the other direction is not true, see the T&Cs: "Credits have no monetary value."

  If you take the "inofficial" conversion rate via gift cards, the value would be about 0,15 US-Cent per credit. The 50 credits in question would then be an equivalent of 7,6 US-Cent. But, they tell the Amateurs that they earned 0.50 $.

  How that? Wouldn't that be cheating?

  Let me propose to stop talking about the gift cards in this discussion.

  It leaves the question, how can 50 credits become 0.50 $?
